Day 7- Christmas Day!!
I am writing this at 8 AM while looking out over Coral Bay. The seas are calm this a.m.; it is a good morning to be out on a boat - if only I had one. Ha!
I've dreamed for many years of being in the Caribbean for Christmas, of having a Christmas Holiday vacation. And here we finally are, we are doing it and it is wonderful and everything I dreamed up.
Just waiting for the guys to get up so we can have breakfast and exchange the gifts that we got one another and I hope they get up soon as I'm ready to get the show on the road.
Everyone is finally up and seated for breakfast. Today we are having whole wheat eggless pancakes, served with fig preserves for the topping, and mango slices on the side, coffee, tea & milk.
After breakfast we clean up the dishes and then pass around gifts. This is what we got: C - 1/2 pound of Kiss of Jumbie coffee beans, a nice STJ coffee mug, and two small plastic bottles of flavored rum. D - a bottle of Pirates Gold hot sauce and a big jar of jalapeno stuffed olives. Which are Wonderful by the way. R - a photo picture of Little Lameshur and L - a photo picture of Trunk Bay. The photo's are matted and are 11 x 14 and the photos are shot through windows of ruins. The Little Lameshur one is my favorite as the angle is awesome. John Baldwin did the photos.
We then sit around until about 12:30 and then pack up and head to Little Lameshur. We find a spot in the shade and we all just sit and read, or just sit, or go for a swim. The water was very cloudy today, not good for snorkeling at all. But we enjoyed just being there with one another.
We come back to the house around 4 PM, and clean up and are lazy this afternoon. We eat our leftovers from Cafe Roma, and served with a salad we all have full meals. We then go to Island Blues for drinks and meet some of the locals from the area. They have all had a wonderful Christmas day and are all very friendly. It was nice to finally meet some of the people in the area.
Merry Christmas 2007!!!!
